Resumen de Saw-toothed sickles and bone anvils: a medieval technique from Spain

Montserrat Esteban Nadal, Eudald Carbonell Roura

  • Two curiously marked bones from a Medieval deposit in Tarragona are seen to have functioned as anvils, on which iron sickles were anchored while they were being given saw teeth. The interpretation drew on the knowledge of a modern blacksmith working in a village near the town, and the practice turns out to have been widespread in Spain Portugal and Morocco from the tenth to the eighteenth centuries.
